30 Days of Blogging. Day 15, Ready, Set . . . .

It's Thursday night and I'm leaving in the morning for another 7 or 8 hour bus ride over the mountains to the city of Kalush where Christina and I are coaching a church there. This will be the "2nd Semester" or 2nd session where we focus all weekend on Spiritual Disciplines with the youth leadership team and also work with the youth leaders and church staff in some administrative areas such as recruiting leaders and maintaining good staff relationships.

As you can see below, my seminars are ready to go.

I'll be leading sessions on:

StudyConfessionService
and an optional (if we have time) session on Solitude.

Christina will talk about:

PrayerFastingSubmission
and an optional session on Meditation.

Our leadership team will have a 4 hour block Saturday to go practice one of the disciplines.

I'm preaching in church Sunday morning.

And then Sunday afternoon we'll meet with the youth leadership team and the church staff and talk about a couple of those administrative matters like Recruiting Leaders or Involving Parents in Ministry, etc, and we'll spend some time evaluating their progress so far and giving them homework for the next session in January.

About Me

Once upon a time I was a Student Minister. Before that I was a Wildlife Biologist-type guy. I served 2 churches for 15+ years in Mississippi. I married my best friend and then lost her after 9 years to Cystic Fibrosis. Being an Uncle has been my favorite job to date. My heart is to learn Russian and live in Ukraine and work with students and orphans and volunteers.
I work with International Teams in Ukraine, bringing people together to help the oppressed.
